Supporting
our military troops and their families is something that is near and dear to my
heart. I am amazed at the qualities exhibited by military personnel: a
drive and dedication, and the loyalty and selflessness, and their families. Their
continual fight to support our freedom
and way of life inspires me. That is why, when I was presented with the
opportunity to share the Cheerios sendCheer Campaign,
I had to help.

Since my son-in-law is a disabled
veteran, I know all too well how much he missed family, holidays, traditions,
and our own culture. Everyday there are men and women serving far away from what they
know and love. But, it is also hard for the family members left behind, faced
with worry on a daily basis.

Throughout November, Cheerios and the USO want
to bring Cheer to the families of the troops. How?

Cheerios® and the USO are
partnering to send “Cheer” to military families to thank and encourage them for
their commitment to our country. Specially marked boxes of Cheerios
cereal will feature “Cheer” postcards, which can be cut out and mailed to
military families through a partnership with the USO. Even more, for each
postcard received, Cheerios will donate $1 to the USO to help support programs
for military families. Cheerios has already donated $150,000 and will
donate up to an additional $100,000 based upon the number of postcards received
by November 30, 2012.

Cheerios invites you to show
your appreciation by sending a simple “thank you” using the “Cheer” postcard
found on the front of specially marked boxes of Cheerios in stores through mid-November.

How Does the Program Work?
Locate a specially marked Cheerios cereal box in your grocery store.
After purchasing the box, there are just 3 easy steps!

Cut out the postcard found on
the front of the box. You will see cut out lines around the “Cheer” in
the Cheerios logo.

On the back-side of the
postcard, write a message of encouragement or a simple “thank you.”

Add postage, and drop the
pre-addressed post card in the mail.

Once the postcards are
received, the USO will distribute them to military families on bases and in USO
centers. Sending your ‘thanks’ is a simple, personal gesture of
appreciation that will mean so much for the recipient.

What a better month to show
our thanks than the month of Thanksgiving! Won’t you participate?

Share with us! Do you have a loved one
in the military? How do you support the troops?

I wrote this
review while participating in a campaign by Mom Central Consulting on behalf of
Cheerios and received a product sample to facilitate my review and a
promotional item to thank me for taking the time to participate.
